    How to keep water from freezing...

    As we get closer to winter, I'm sure many newbies, such as myself, will want to know the answer to 'How do you keep your waterers from freezing?' I saw a video and I am going to try the rock salt in a water bottle trick and see if they guy was telling the truth or just blowing smoke... What are...

    Official BYC Poll: Winterizing your flock's feed: Do you change or supplement it?

    This is my first year. I don't make them oatmeal, but I do make them scrambled eggs. I guess oatmeal will be next for those frosty mornings.

    New chicken keeper

    All my girls are not dying. I am worried about the two new ones I have added to the flock. They were quarantined by themselves for two months before being added. I am worried about them not coming down off their roosting bars to eat. I can't be out there all the time to watch them, so I am...

    New chicken keeper

    Hi. New Member here. Longish story short... I bought 20 chicks in April, one died. I bought 4 more and then another 4. I was then gifted a bunch more, kept 2, and gave the rest to a friend to rebuild her flock. The neighbor's dogs came down and slaughtered 5 of my chickens. That made me...
